The harsh midday sun beat down as if it would pierce through one's eyes.
Someone flung open the classroom door and shouted,
“Emergency! Emergency! It’s an emergency!”
Turning my head, I saw Fron, so out of breath from running that she could barely speak.
“Huff, huff, Instructor Tammy… Instructor Tammy…”
“If you're trying to tell us that she’s missing, you don't have to.”
Samuel casually cut off Fron's frantic words.
Fron's eyes widened in response.
“How did you know that?”
“Hmph, it's only natural that I would know before a fool like you.”
“Wh-what?”
“Did you not see the other instructors bustling around this morning?”
Samuel's sharp gaze made Fron flinch and stammer.
“W-well, I was sleeping…”
“You were sleeping at school? Unbelievable. Sytan is not a place for sleeping. It's a place for studying.”
“...!”
Fron couldn't retort to Samuel's undeniably true statement and simply glared at him.
Lately, perhaps due to the incident in the Lust Territory, Fron had been living a very leisurely life.
She wasn't studying as hard as before, and she had stopped boasting about her class president position or claiming that she would be the top student again this time.
Initially, I didn't mind the change, but her laziness was growing by the day.
It was almost as if the embodiment of Lust was about to be adopted by the Sloth family.
“Well, you have been slacking off lately.”
I nonchalantly tossed my textbook into my bag and chided Fron.
“You're one to talk.”
Samuel let out a sarcastic laugh, as if he found my words ridiculous.
I smiled as brightly as a summer fruit and replied,
“Still, I’m better than you, Ms. Fron.”
“I refuse to acknowledge that!”
Fron yelled, but I just scratched my ear.
It felt like a loser was barking somewhere, making my ears itch.
“Y-you… I will definitely… you guys…!”
“What, are you going to hit us?”
“Yes, I'll beat you up! I will definitely… you gloomy-looking bastard…!”
Fron was just about to swing her fist at me when,
“Be quiet.”
Luna, who was sitting in front of Fron, spoke without taking her eyes off her textbook.
Her flat tone silenced me, even though I had been about to tease Fron a bit more.
Regardless,
Scribble, scribble-
Luna simply continued to move her pen, seemingly taking notes.
Samuel's eyes lit up like a child who had discovered a new toy as he looked at me.
“Suddenly gone silent, are we? Why, do you have to listen to everything she says?”
“...“
Fron chimed in as well.
“Ha, haven’t I told you countless times? Even if you do that, the chances of you and Luna getting together are…”
Hold on, these guys?
Why are they suddenly turning on me?
I couldn't help but click my tongue at their sudden barrage of criticism.
As I was being teased by Samuel and Fron, I glanced back and made eye contact with Luna.
“...“
However, Luna continued to focus on her studies, as if nothing had happened, simply brushing her hair behind her ear.
As I looked away from her,
“By the way, you mongrel, do you know anything about this incident?”
“What do you mean?”
“The incident where Instructor Tammy went missing. I heard you were close to her.”
“Well, I don't have any particular clues.”
I acted nonchalantly, without a hint of nervousness.
At the same time, I put on a worried expression for Instructor Tammy, responding to Samuel's question.
“I can't believe an instructor at Sytan would go missing… I hope it's nothing serious.”
“Hmm, have there ever been times when you hoped something wasn’t serious and it actually wasn’t?”
“Not really…”
I trailed off, furrowing my brows.
As if I had nothing to do with this incident.
As if I was genuinely worried about Tammy.
But something felt strange.
“Do you really not know what happened?”
Samuel asked me again.
His expression seemed quite serious, forcing me to frown.
What is it?
Did he perhaps see that scene?
“Yes, I really don't know.”
“...Then, where did you go last night?”
Ah.
So that's why he's suspicious.
Judging by his reaction, it didn't seem like he had found any concrete evidence.
But it didn't feel like the atmosphere was right for me to tell a blatant lie either.
I answered, carefully blending truth and falsehood.
“I had an appointment with the Headmaster.”
“The Headmaster? You had an appointment with her? What kind of appointment would you have with her?”
“That's a secret.”
I hadn't actually met with the Headmaster, but it was true that we were in the same boat.
When Samuel realized that the Headmaster was involved, he didn't press further, only frowning.
As if he didn't like the current situation.
However, there was nothing Samuel could do.
Scoot-
I got up from my seat and smiled at Samuel.
“What’s going on? Explain it to me too.”
Only Fron, who hadn't grasped the situation, tilted his head in confusion.
***
After concluding my conversation with Samuel, I headed to the faculty office, where only Idea remained.
Idea was sitting in a chair, leisurely sipping tea as she had done yesterday.
“Class president, welcome.”
After taking a sip, she looked at me and smiled gently.
Her appearance made me feel nauseous, but I forced myself to smile back.
“Are you satisfied with the results?”
“Hmm, well? I'm not sure what you mean.”
Idea feigned ignorance and took another sip of tea.
However, her face was filled with a satisfied smile.
Just yesterday, Tammy had been her fellow instructor.
To think she would react this way to Tammy's death.
She was a truly frightening woman.
“Is that so? Then, were they satisfied?”
“They said they were. Of course, they also mentioned some regrets. Like the body, for example. Things like that.”
“Haha, what can you do? I had to incinerate it since I couldn't risk being discovered.”
Whoosh-
Black flames flickered like a viper's tongue at my fingertips.
It was one of the fire magic spells I had learned while practicing magic with Samuel.
Although my proficiency was lower than with Dark Lightning, it had enough firepower to burn someone to ashes.
Idea stared at my flames and spoke.
“That's a beautiful flame.”
“Is it?”
“Instructor Tammy was beautiful too.”
“...Is that so? She wasn't really my type.”
Suddenly, the memory of what I had done last night surfaced, making me feel a pang of guilt.
Tammy's distorted face, her gasps that seemed like they would break at any moment, the blood that had poured from her body…
And the image of myself becoming accustomed to such acts was also painful to see.
Idea observed my silence for a moment before speaking again.
“Will you be able to handle the next target? He's quite a formidable opponent.”
“It shouldn't be too difficult.”
“You seem confident. Well, you do possess that level of skill.”
Idea smiled and shrugged.
So she was watching after all.
My eyes narrowed.
Whatever device it was, Idea and the Headmaster must have been observing the scene where I killed Tammy.
'I didn't sense any magical devices, though.'
Whatever method they used, it was sufficient to monitor Tammy.
Of course, it seemed impossible for them to monitor me.
They might be trying to keep an eye on me, but they couldn't possibly watch my every move.
However, monitoring a weak individual like Instructor Tammy... it must have been child's play.
'Their intention in saying this is probably something like this.'
We can see all your actions.
So don't even dream of betraying us.
Perhaps that's what they wanted to convey.
'Diana and the Headmaster both know.'
They know that I have something I'm aiming for, and that's why I joined hands with them.
And that I'm capable of killing Tammy without reason to achieve my goal.
Hum-
I channeled a faint amount of mana and activated my 'Killing Intent' trait.
It was a message directed towards the Headmaster, who was likely observing this situation from somewhere.
Idea's eyelids twitched for a moment at the sudden shift in the atmosphere.
I simply smiled without flinching.
Seeing my reaction, Idea also smiled silently.
I smiled, and Idea smiled.
Did the Headmaster smile too?
She probably did.
“Then I'll be going now. Expect a gift tonight.”
“Yes, I'll be looking forward to it.”
Idea saw me off without getting up from her seat.
As I turned to leave the faculty office, I stopped in my tracks.
“Oh, by the way,”
I turned back to face Idea and asked with a smile,
“Is Instructor Ares not included in that list?”
Idea remained silent.
She didn't smile.
Her eyes, which had seemed empty a moment ago, were now filled with a clear killing intent.
As if warning me not to utter that name with my filthy mouth.
She glared at me as if she wanted to kill me.
“Class president, excessive jokes are not good!”
Then, Idea suddenly smiled brighter than ever and patted my shoulder.
“Haha, was it an excessive joke?”
“Yes, it was. You're really mischievous, class president.”
“That's why Luna rejects you, you know.”
Idea added.
“...“
This time, it was my turn to lose the smile.
My expression must have mirrored Idea's earlier one.
I could only guess, as I couldn't see my own face.
Then,
“Ha.”
Haha.
Hahaha.
We both started laughing, as if on cue.
We laughed loudly, loudly enough to make the faculty office ring.
Only the dagger nestled against my chest retained its icy chill.

ReplyDeleteMan, I rly hope he hid the instructor sum where. she was chill af!
ReplyDeleteand, I hope he clarifies tha luna situation shi.
that's exactly what I am thinking too.
DeleteAdel maybe really killed her but Samuel maybe has some method to "revive" her..
DeleteÇa tombe bien que ce soit le dernier chapitre que je puisse lire, je m'arrête la, l'histoire était vraiment captivante jusqu'à la guerre de l'arrogance et après c'est partie en couille, le personnage qui n'avait déjà qu'un développement lent a stagné d'un coup , plus aucune évolution juste un Petit garçon qui a la moindre complications Sur réagi. Le personnage est faible d'esprit,stupide et paresseux, c'est de pire en pire , il n'est pas foutu d'ouvrir sa bouche juste pour corriger un malentendu. Je peux comprendre que le souhait d'adel rentre en conflit avec ses propres idéaux mais juste le fait que le mec réagisse a tout se qui lui est dit , qu'il le pense dans sa tête pendant 20 ligne pour au final se taire et ne rien faire est extrêmement frustrant . L' auteur se perd dans son propre univers sa en devient laissant et puis ne parlons même pas des Power up , adel actuellement est sensé est le plus fort de sytant après la directrice mais est terrorisé de faire le moindre mouvement et la sans explication, Rien, il obéi au ordre d'idée et donc de la directrice mais c'est débile quoi qu'il arrive dianna va vouloir le tué, ça n'a aucun sens de se ranger sous le contrôle de la directrice bref .
ReplyDeleteLes 150 premier chapitre son bien écrit ainsi que l passage de la luxure
la suite donne mal au crâne,c'est mal structuré , mal expliqué, c'est interminable ,
un harem aurait donné plus de sens a la romance présente dans ce novel que la bouillie qu'il nous on servi jusqu'à maintenant
Je suis tout à fait d'accord avec vous !!! Sa devient lassant et frustrant on se permet d'espérer que l'auteur revienne a la raison .
DeleteBueno supongo que dejaré la novela aquà ya que no está en booktoki, asà que dejaré mis conclusiones de lo que han llevado a este terrible resultado
ReplyDelete1) Primera y más importante razón, el protagonista es normal, no tiene ninguna cualidad destacable era simplemente una persona normal que escribió una novela mala, puedes exigirle tanto a una persona aleatorio que ves en la calle? Si alguien más leyó Dark Blood Age entenderá que un destino especial para una persona no especial simplemente lo destruirá
2) No tener los recuerdos de Adel, estó fue horrible ya que literalmente es una persona normal arrojada a un infierno. Si al menos tuviera los recuerdos de Adel podrÃa haber pulido su mente e inteligencia y no haber bailado en la palma de otro. Sin los recuerdos y experiencias de Adel comenzó en negativo su progreso
3) Ir al mundo demonio, este fue un error fatal, debió apostar por el acantilado para disfrazar su muerte. Eligió el Mundo Demonio por sobre el Mundo Humano, aún cuando no sabÃa nada de este, a excepción de una mazmorra y la telequinesis no sabe ninguna oportunidad aprovechable del Reino Demonio este fue un error fatal
4) No aprovechó su dedo dorado, el único apoyo que tenÃa era el papel de Adel, el cual no pudo usar porque no buscó dinero ni artefactos, lo cual desperdició la mayor ventaja que tenÃa
5) No conocÃa su novela, haber perdido sus conocimientos de escenarios descartados fue una daga en el corazón ya que su novela al estar tan completa muchos de sus conocimientos de la novela eran inútiles o incompletos, su ventaja de ser autor era casi inútil
6) No tenÃa un plan, constantemente se adaptaba a lo que sucedÃa luego de los parciales debió pensar en qué hacer a continuación, ni siquiera tenÃa un plan para lidiar con Diana o la directora lo que terminó convirtiéndolo en su marioneta
7) Era psicológicamente débil, era una persona normal por lo que era comprensible pero no sabÃa como hacer ni mantener vÃnculos, Samuel fue su amigo porque el propio Samuel dió el primer paso, y rechazó a Luna porque ni siquiera se conocÃa a sà mismo
8) El verdadero Adel no fue de ayuda, el protagonista no era mejor que Adel, probablemente lo habrÃa hecho mejor si hubiera regresado en el tiempo. Las pistas del caos debió dárselas cuando estaba en el mundo del protagonista o sugerirle por el papel la información que deberÃa comprar, por último las 2 veces que le prestó poder al protagonista debió hacerlo antes.
9) No salvar a Creta, no salvarlo llevó todo de mal a imposible, desde el principio debió tener en cuenta la familai Bares sobre todo ya que estaba atado a ella y que no pudieran tocarle dependÃa de que Creta estuviera vivo para respaldarlo, descuidó a Renne por lo que no pudo usar su ayuda para convencer a Creta y no tenÃa ningún plan de reserva contra seres poderosos, los estigmas de los Dioses Demonio aunque sonaban fuerte resultaron ser basura que no podÃa tocar al Santo de la Espada, no tenÃa un pergamino o piedra de teletransporte, maldita sea ni siquiera tenÃa un elixir de recuperación, deberÃa haber noqueado a Renne y hacer que la llevaran al portal luego usar Sigilo Absoluto junto con todo para emboscar al Santo de la Espada y comprarle la oportunidad a Creta de ganar, incluso si llegara a morir el verdadero Adel podrÃa sacrificarse al Caos para castear una teletransportación para ambos o 1 segundo de invulnerabilidad para emboscar al Santo de la Espada
10) El protagonista fue demasiado arrogante y estrecho de miras, nunca supo que hacer ni tenÃa la información que lo ayudara, sus "ventajas" fueron en su mayorÃa inútiles y el talento de su cuerpo fue nerfeado por la falta de recuerdos, en resumen no hay esperanza de ganar y no es culpa del protagonista simplemente fue mala suerte que lo eligieran
not fun to read anymore..mc become dog of someone and kill innocent instructor who is goodwill...time to drop this
ReplyDeleteWell rip series. Indefinite hiatus with radio silent author. Not paying or searching for more chapters... It's not even to the mid point and it has 0 signs of update even with the manwha apparently. So I'm guessing it's not dropped but the author certainly is stuck after the personality shifts all around.
ReplyDeleteAlso from what I found when searching about to find all this out, the personality shifts continue and do not get better or resolved by the current chapters so it was just increase disappointment overall.
No clue what's happening or going on. It's trying to bring back slice of daily life with dramatic world ending undertone but at the same time while I don't mind that it's doing it very poorly and ignoring like all development Adel just went through. I'm assuming he isn't truly a dog and they aren't really dead or going to die like the headmaster wants.... But idk nor care enough to continue a series that hasn't been updated wn wise in like a year and a half with no signs of return and 0 communication from the author
Overall I don't think this series is bad. I liked it enough to read this far. At first I was reading it for shits and giggles but between Samuel and Crete's war I was actually invested. Then Rem/Fron's arc while it did drag on it was great imo. I don't mind the Luna stuff necessarily cause it seems like she's just hardening herself like Adel proposed essentially, and Rene while being one note has grown on me. Rem/Fron has become a great character imo. And Samuel especially has become a primary reason I can genuinely say I enjoy this series...
But overall it started not slop like but not really stand out. It founds its own standing and I got invested. Even though at parts it definitely wavered. But now with this, and the fact it has no sign of returning? I am officially done with it sadly. Shame too I was wanting to know what all would transpire (even though I didn't like how the original protagonist was handled especially with him like feeling the creator was disappointed in him or what not.) it truly is a shame. Hope the author comes back after manwha season ends or something because this series for my own investment standpoint seems like it deserves a proper continuance of what it was and to re align with the good parts and the characters personalities and motivations overall.
